Collinear expression of 5′ Hoxd genes during mammalian limb development is required to properly determine digits number and identity. We recently proposed a two-step model to account for the underlying regulatory mechanism, which involves an initial loopin ...
Early ocular development is controlled by a complex network of transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, and diffusible signalling molecules. Together, these molecules regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis, and specify retinal fate. NKX5-3 is a hom ...
In spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the leading genetic cause of early childhood death, the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) is deleted or inactivated. The nearly identical SMN2 gene has a silent mutation that impairs the utilization of exon 7 and the pro ...
The mis-regulation of gene transcription in the living cell can be the cause of complex human diseases like cancer. One challenge of the post-genomic era of biomedical research is the development of in vitro techniques for the rapid and cost-effective anal ...
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used to image silver-stained proteins on a poly(vinylidene difluoride) membrane. The method is based on measuring the current at a scanning microelectrode in the feedback mode. The electrochemical feedback is ...
DNA uptake by polyethylenimine (PEI)-mediated transfection was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO DG44) cells. Rapid DNA uptake was observed with the maximum occurring during the first 45-60 min after addition of PEI-DNA complexes to cells. With lo ...
A gel probe equilibrium sampler has been developed to study arsenic (As) geochemistry and sorption behavior in sediment porewater. The gels consist of a hydrated polyacrylamide polymer, which has a 92% water content. Two types of gels were used in this stu ...
Protein-DNA interactions (PDIs) between transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes form the backbone of transcription regulatory networks. Such PDIs can be identified with either a TF or a gene as a starting point. The Gateway-compatible yeast one- ...
Sequence-specific binding of a transcription factor to DNA is the central event in any transcriptional regulatory network. However, relatively little is known about the evolutionary plasticity of transcription factors. For example, the exact functional con ...
We present a versatile scheme to rationally modulate the hydrolysis rate of ester bonds in hydrophilic polymer networks via adjacent charged amino acids. As soluble model systems, two cysteine-bearing oligopeptides containing either positively charged argi ...
